This latest effort on the part of CCP makes me think CCP can step straight into acting as a double for the Australian Federal Government, or any State Government for that matter coming into an election.

Waste a lot of time and money and programming resources producing fancy bling rubbish that no one actually wants and do absolutely nothing about fixing or finishing the things that are broken or unfinished. Those items clearly exist in a safe seat no one is interested in contesting.

Numbers on the server may jump very temporary after a patch, or when a good war occurs, but overall, I still see the average numbers in the game decreasing every month, and most of those I know that have left did so because they were sick of seeing the unnecessary bling instead of stuff getting fixed.

I agree.
For 4 months CCP waste our money for DONGs, Flash kill confirmation, ads in hangar, cool cinematic camera features.
They simply forget who pays their salary and have lost respect for their customers.

CCP when your customers say your "fixing" of the undock/dock camera sucks,

you should take it on face value the customer is always right, else you lose $ Roll

ps: would it not be better to spend your scarce Company resources on features we actually want Question

I like the docking and especially the undocking camera a lot.

I wished for something like this for a long time, and I think you could even have gone a bit further with this.

The undocking "cinematic" is nice because it gives an even nicer impression about the size of the ship and station.
Well done!

Please do not just remove this feature because a vocal minority is demanding so. There surely are people who do enjoy this feature but they're just no forum-dwellers, nor are they very vocal.

Instead just consider to make this docking / undocking feature optional. This way those who like it can keep it, and those who don't can disable it.

Ahh.. I get it.

This is what the IGB team is doing now.

Could we perhaps .... maybe... get some focus on content rather then stuff like this? While I'll chime in and say I kinda like the dock/undock animation, it is already become tiring after just 1 night of game play. It's like the opening cinematic intro to Eve, once you've seen it... you've seen it. I don't need to see it over and over again.

Vocal Minority???

Your literally the first person I have heard say anything remotely positive about this in help chat today there was a very common theme people who never enter the channel asking the same two questions!

1) How do I remove the new docking annimation... The question was asked more times then there are Sub's in the Eve Universe!

2) What happened to the 10,000 SP feature where did it go why did they take it away?!?

I really think your very out of touch with the majority on this particular issue!!!

Comments that express specifically what you like and what could be better are exactly the kind of feedback the camera team needs on this feature. I recommend posting in the release feedback thread so they'll have the best chance to see it.

You might want to consider listening to the feedback you've actually got, rather than the feedback you wish you had.

That might help you go back to the old way of making a game that appeals to your actual customers, not to the customers you wish you had.

And since content in this game is made by the players, you mean the focus should be on removing the barriers to that built up over time, of course.

I wish I had some cheese to go along with all the whine in this thread. I will bite that the animation appearing every time you change ships is annoying, but it's not as if you have to wait for it to finish before doing anything. You can access everything in station before docking finishes, and you can warp away instantly as well. I haven't even seen any new undock animation, and I just went through the SoE arc yesterday, so I undocked several times.

And that saying about the customer being right is bogus. I work in customer service, and most of the time, they (the customers) are selfish, greedy people that are either too dumb to know what they are talking about, or they're trying ro takke advantage of the system.

Maybe you could tell the "camera team" to take a look at all the previous threads full of camera feed back on things like custom tracking position, uneven up/down vs left right camera scrolling and zoom acceleration issues. The feedback is spread out over multiple threads, hundreds of pages that have been ignored. Their own feedback threads are obviously not giving them the "best chance to see it".

I get it, this is a push to make people dock into their captain's quarters...nice subtle suggestion CCP. Cool

I for one will be docking into my captain's quarters from now on. WiS expansion (hopefully) confirmed?

the new camera is pretty terrible i must admit the sudden erge to add in the ship moveing into the dock is annoying then undocking zoomed in then bam zoom out,

I also don't like the change.

However, even more annoying for me personally is this new camera pan they have on the ship model viewer. Apparently whenever you want to view a ship's 3d model, when you first open the viewer it does a cinematic pan in which your camera is locked for around 2 seconds. Annoying as hell.

As long as I can take your beer away or smash the bar because you don't have your Code permits, I may acquiesce to WiS.

No reward without risk, and no activity that can't be non-consensually touched by others!

Dear CCP,

Can you please implement a Gym in station, that way when I get pissed off with the ever-flowing charade of unneeded changes, I can go in there and workout on the punch-bag and forget all about playing EVE.

Please stop making rediculous changes to the game, especially with so much broken atm.

Restore the dock/undock/ship change asap please.

Thank you.

This feature doesn't really add any value to the game, but it adds a lot of delay.

Make docking/undocking from stations more like it used to be from citadels: crisp and fast.
